youtube

Videos › Trending

Returns the trending videos for a country and category, each with title, thumbnail, duration, view, like and comment counts, channel, and publish time.

Use it to see what is popular in a given country right now; shorts/trending covers Shorts and takes no filters.

Metered: 10–60 credits. We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.

Paginates by cursor: see Pagination.

Query parameters

regionstring
Example:US

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g. US, GB, KR).

categorystring
Example:10

YouTube video category id (e.g. 10 = Music, 24 = Entertainment).

languagestring

Localization language (ISO 639-1) for titles/metadata.

max_resultsinteger

Maximum number of videos to return (1-50).

cursorstring

Pagination cursor from a previous response: fetches the next page.

include'channel'

Set to channel (one token only) to add each row's channel stats in this one call. channel puts the channel's subscriber count on post.ext.author_followers (YouTube's own figure, which it rounds to three significant figures above 1,000) and fills the channel's post.author.display_name, .avatar_url and .username where missing. Each join adds 0.2 to 0.7 seconds on a fresh page (one lookup per 50 ids, never more than 8 seconds).

sincestring

Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following next_cursor, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept.

untilstring

Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept.

dry_run'1'

Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.
